Warm Roasted Butternut Squash and Kale Salad with Toasted Pecans
A cozy and nutrient-packed salad featuring tender roasted butternut squash, crisp kale, and a boost of lean grilled chicken for protein, all crowned with crunchy toasted pecans and a light olive oil dressing. This dish delivers a balance of savory and sweet flavors with a satisfying texture that warms you from the inside out.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz grilled chicken breast
1 cup roasted butternut squash cubes
1 cup chopped kale
1 oz toasted pecans
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes, toss with a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a baking tray for about 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
While the squash roasts, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces once rested.
Place the chopped kale in a large bowl. If desired, massage the kale with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt to soften its texture.
Add the warm roasted squash and sliced chicken to the kale. Sprinkle in the toasted pecans.
Drizzle the salad with the remaining olive oil and gently toss to combine all the flavors.
Serve immediately while the squash is still warm for a comforting, hearty meal.
